Wine cellar in Tuscany

At a time when the dominant trend leads towards homologation, Podere Ema has always believed in a different approach. With the development of our wine cellar, we have embraced the challenge of rediscovering the traditions of our land, and then renewing them with passion and care.

In our vineyards, we cultivate respect for the land and the winegrowing culture of our region. Each grape tells a story of thousand-year-old tradition, but also of innovation. We want to share this experience with you, inviting you to discover the past and present of Tuscany in every sip.

Tuscany's Rediscovery of Terroir

The Search for Roots

In the heart of Tuscany, Italy’s wine region par excellence, indigenous grape varieties guard a millenary heritage that tells stories of tradition, passion and dedication. Among these grape varieties, one stands out like a rediscovered gem, a rarity that has crossed the centuries with grace and persistence: Foglia Tonda.

Witness of passion and innovative vision

In the heart of Chianti, in 2001, Enrico Calvelli founded Podere Ema, a winery that embodies an extraordinary adventure of passion and innovation in the land of Tuscan wine. Immerse yourself in a sensory journey through the magic of our wine cellar, where tradition is interwoven with love for the art of winemaking. Explore the secrets of our fine wines on a unique adventure in our atmospheric wine cellar.
